As capstones are often an ABET major designexperience collection point [17] and regularly assess the accumulation of students engineering knowledge[18], knowing what pre-requisite courses are required for the course becomes important.

In socialnetwork parlance, these networks would be described as heterophilous, or composed of moreoutgroup members than ingroup members [7]. Social network theory would hold that people tendto be drawn toward others with whom they share some common experiences or identities, andthat shared similarity would have many positive effects on different outcomes achieved by thoseindividuals. And cisgender, heterosexual students possibly experience some motivation andvalidation from engaging in networks that are composed predominantly of people who sharethose experiences with them, though these benefits are likely quite latent and subconscious [29].All

coastdown testing works well as aclassroom engineering laboratory.IntroductionThe education of mechanical engineering students tends to favor theoretical concepts overpractical applications. Students take multiple courses in topics such as dynamics, mechanics ofsolids and fluids, thermodynamics, and design theory. However, oftentimes the only exposuremechanical engineers receive to practical engineering comes in the form of a laboratory designcourse, in which they learn the operation of tools such as the mill and lathe. Few if any educationprograms exist that integrate theoretical and practical components of engineering. According toArnold Kerr and Byron Pipes, students gain more when engaging in hands-on work1.Consequently, because of this
